It's a big year for the Man of Steel. Come find out what's being done to celebrate the occasion.

As you likely know by now, 2013 marks Kal-El's 75th anniversary. It's a big one, and DC and Warner Bros. are aiming to throw him a great party. We already know Clark's getting a brand new title made by the dream team of Scott Snyder and Jim Lee (SUPERMAN UNCHAINED comes out June 12) and the famous hero has his own beyond fantastic looking movie on the way, but now Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC have released an official logo for the A-lister's birthday. Expect to see this on all Superman-related products to help remind the world just how awesome Clark truly is.

But that's not all they're doing. Zack Snyder, the director of Man of Steel, is working on a two-minute animated short all about the Kryptonian. It will allegedly pay respect to the character's extensive history (ranging from original cartoons and artists all the way up to Henry Cavill's take on the character). Also working on the video are Bruce Timm, Geoff Johns, Peter Giraradi, Mike Carlin and Jay Oliva.

Man of Steel will finally break into theaters on June 14. Viners, what is it about Superman that makes him so legendary? Give the Justice Leaguer your love in the comments section below.

UPDATE:

USA Today has released a slew of variant covers for SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #1!

I like superman because of the good guy he is. In t he movie trailer, he rescues a city worker while metropolis is in chaos. He flys the worker to safety, puts him down and asks 'are you all right?' He cares about us.

where will the short appear? love the retro covers, oh those were the days. not excited for the book as i personally dont like snyder's writing, will save judgement til the book is in my hand. i am excited about the movie though, two weeks to go
